Omschrijving
Brings blackface minstrelsy and performance culture into the discussion of apartheid's nineteenth-century origins and afterlife, employing a broad archive of South African newspapers and magazines, memoirs, minstrel songs and sketches, diaries, and interview transcripts.
“Historical in nature and based on archival research and an extensive reading of historiography about blackface minstrelsy and racial and labor relations in South Africa, Exporting Jim Crow charts the importance of minstrelsy in forging a distinctive white settler identity in South Africa.”- Kevin K. Gaines, author of African Americans in Ghana: Black Expatriates and the Civil Rights Era;
“Thelwell’s scholarship is impressive. This is essential reading for those interested in the transnational reach of blackface minstrelsy.”- Sandra Jean Graham, author of Spirituals and the Birth of a Black Entertainment Industry
Chinua Thelwell is assistant professor of history and Africana studies at William & Mary.
